Inuyasha's ears softly twitched as he began to wake. Sitting up his mind reeled over last nights events.

"Well Kagome, here we are." Pulling up to the shrine, he put his car in park. They had already dropped off Sango and Miroku and were alone in the car.

Glancing out the window, Kagome murmured, "I'm sorry about earlier." Confusion swept over him as he was trying to remember why she was sorry. "Oh.. She means about what happened during the movie."

"Gome, it's okay. You were scared and truthfully it was kinda cute."

"But you have a girlfriend, Inuyasha. What about kikyou?" Realizing she was right, he thought for a moment before replying.

"Listen, I have some business to take care of tomorrow morning. After can we hang out and talk some more?" "This is it, tomorrow I need to end it with kikyou."

"Uh, sure. Is 2:00 okay?" Nodding, Inuyasha reached over and hugged the girl next to him, softly pecking her cheek before letting go.

Her eyes widened at the sudden affection. Unable to form a coherent sentence, Kagome smiled and exited the car, leaving a content hanyou alone.

Swinging his legs over the side of his bed, Inuyasha sighed and picked up his phone. "20?! Kikyou texted me 20 times!?" Not even bothering to read them Inuyasha replied, "we need to talk. Come over."

Putting down his phone, Inuyasha got up and headed for his shower.

Looking over at the clock in his living room, it read 12:00. His ears twitched as he heard the sound of a car door shut and footsteps leading up to his front door.

With out even a knock, his front door swung open as he heard the high-pitch squawk of his girlfriends voice, "Yaaaasha, I'm here!" Making her way over to his couch, she plopped down onto his lap and tried to plant a wet kiss across his lips, but before that could happen he got up causing her to fall onto the floor.

"Kikyou, I know you've been cheating on me. I had you come over so I could confront you and tell you it's over." Kikyou's expression turned from lust to fury as she quickly got up, flashing Inuyasha her lime green thong under her short as can be skirt.

"Babe, you're being ridiculous. I'm not cheating on you and we're not over!" Grabbing at his shirt she began to kiss his neck.

Feeling repulsed, Inuyasha grabbed her by her shoulders and yanked her off of him. "No, we are. Every time you come over here, you smell of another man. It's repulsing. Stop your lying and get out. We. Are. Done."

Humiliated, Kikyou stomped to the door. "You'll be sorry, Inuyasha. You'll be mine even if it kills me." Anger dripped from her words as she slammed the door. The sounds of tires squealing broke the silence.

Kagome had just gotten out of the shower when she picked up the scent of a male hanyou coming from down the hall. The hair stood up on the back of her neck as she reached for a towel to wrap around her. Slowly opening the door, she followed the scent. Worry swept over her as she found herself at her bedroom door. Mustering up whatever courage she could, she swung the door open and walked inside.

"Inuyasha?! What're you doing here?! It's only 1:00!" Glancing up from his place on her bed, his jaw dropped. Standing before him was this beautiful female hanyou. Her hair was cascading around her still wet form with only a small towel covering her goddess body.

"K-Kagome.." His voice was useless. "She's more beautiful than I thought she was. She's flawless in all sense of the word.."

Finally realizing she was still in a towel she raced back to the bathroom and changed quickly. Putting the finishing touches on her outfit she stepped out of the bathroom. She was dressed in a short but not too short soft pink skirt that flowed around her thighs and a white long sleeved crop top. She had the perfect amount of makeup on and her usually plain hair was now two low braided pigtails.

Embarrassment evident on her face, she made her way back to her room. Peaking inside again, Inuyasha had yet to leave his spot from her bed and still starred at her with that dreamy look in his eyes.

With a barely visible smile, Inuyasha suddenly got up from his place on her bed and grabbed her hand. "Let's go to the park today." Without a word he led her downstairs and out the door.

Their walk from the shrine was quiet but comfortable. After a short five minutes the reached the nearest park and Inuyasha laid down on the grass, inviting Kagome to join him with a pat on the ground beside him. Smiling Kagome laid beside her companion and they were silent for a moment before Inuyasha spoke up.

"Kagome?"

"Hmm?" Her eyes remained closed as she soaked up the warmth from the sun.

"You know about a demons countdown, right?" Nervousness flooded over him as he thought about what to say next.

"Oh, of course I do. I'm a half demon too remember?" Giggling she poked his left ear with on of her claws.

Smiling, Inuyasha continued, "have you looked at you countdown recently?"

Sitting up, Kagome was overwhelmed with a sense of sadness. "No, I can't. I buried it with my father after he died, so he'd know my future mate too."

Inuyasha was feeling quite guilty now. Reaching his hand into his pocket her pulled out a small scroll. "I know who your soulmate is, Kagome." She looked up at him with curious eyes as he gently placed the scroll her hand.

"It's me."
